Thoroughly updated to encompass the significant technological advances since the publication of
the first edition, Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: Design Fundamentals, Second Edition presents the
design fundamentals, component sizing, and systems interactions of alternative vehicles. This new
edition of a widely praised, bestselling textbook maintains the comprehensive, systems-level
perspective of electric and hybrid vehicles while covering the hybrid architectures and components
of the vehicle in much greater detail. The author emphasizes technical details, mathematical
relationships, and design guidelines throughout the text.
New to the Second Edition

New chapters on sizing and design guidelines for various hybrid architectures, control strategies for hybrid vehicles, powertrain component cooling systems, and in-vehicle communication methods

Reorganization of power electronics, electric machines, and motor drives sections

Enhanced sections on mechanical components that now include more technical descriptions and example problems

An emphasis on the integration of mechanical and electrical components, taking into account the interdisciplinary nature of automotive engineering

As an advisor to the University of Akronís team in the Challenge X: Crossover to Sustainable
Mobility, Dr. Husain knows first-hand how to teach students both the fundamentals and cutting-edge
technologies of the next generation of automotives. This text shows students how electrical and
mechanical engineers must work together to complete an alternative vehicle system. It empowers
them to carry on state-of-the-art research and development in automotive engineering in order to
meet todayís needs of clean, efficient, and sustainable vehicles.
